He was I I in his 73rd year, and had been in feeble I health for some time. I He was the last of the autocrats, rul- ing billiards with a dcspotÙim-benevo- i lent out iron-clad—which never weak- ened even after he bad long pavssed his I zenith. Other players forced their way upwarals and insistently contended that the G.O.M. was no longer champion in anything but name, but Roberts would not concede an inch, steadfastly refus- ing to play on lovel terms.

Lambrino, the beautiful daughter of a Rumanian officer, was ordered by the King to rejoin his regi- ment. in Transylvania.

I BRILLIANT REC!TAL. Llewellyn Bevan's Concert at Swansea. Rarely has such an audience ot music iover; gathered at Swansea as hat at the Mond Buildings on Tuesday, irhen Llewelyn Bevan jjave a .woaderrul piano- forte recital, assisted by Mrs. Leslie J. Dftviee. t.he well-known elocutionist, and Iitr. Jooiah Thomas, whose services are always so freely available for good cau>_ves. It wivs interesting to recall the origin! of the remarkable evening which has re- sulted in the sum of wZ20 2e. Od. boing .anded over to the Widow-a aud Orphans nd Children's Samrasr Home Tund. A fortnight or so ago Llewelyn -x-an called to see Mr. J. L). Williams, I the hon..secretary of the Fund,'and asked whether there was anything he could do to help forward the groat object. The ilon. Secretary, with his own knowledge of bis vieitor's groat musical abilities, immediately asked that he should give a pienofoi-te recital, a request to which he willingly consented. Then the Swansea Young Li!)eral League wete asked to make the necessary arrangements, and Mr. W. L. Da viQ" their eecretary, took the matter in hand, and the result was iuesdav s concert, which will live in the :nind6 of the large musical audience M a memorable occasion, wile-n the genius of one of proud Swansea's sorss wall the cause of wonderment on their parts. CHAIRMAN'S APPEAL I That stalwart of the fund, Mr. W. A. Jenkins, took the chair, and in his open- ing remarks said he was delighted, for two reasons, to be present. The first was that he had the honour to preside at the rec;fal by Mr. Bevan, who was without donM a veritable musical genius whoso fame had now gone right through the countiy, and who had done wonderful ttork with the troops in France, Belgium and Germany. Swanae-a was proud of Jr. Be.an. Secondly, he was pleased to see such a large audience, and he asked them to re mere oer the object of the even- ing. Especially now at this season, when all were buying preents for each other, should they think of those left behind by the men who had made the sacrifice of their lives. They, too, should share Hie jcjys of Christmastide, and not suffer through the supreme sacrifice of their men. Mr. Oliver Luff apologised for the fact that although the town had been scoured, it had been found quite impossible to get a grand piano. MR. SEVAN'S PROGRAMME. I Thú nret item was a series of pieces by Chopin and Beethoven, Mazurka Xo. If) J In B flat, and Valse in C sharp min. (Chopin); Sonata in C sharp inin. op. 27, No. 2 (Beethoven) (a) Adagio Sostenuto (b) Allegretto (c) Presto Agitato.' The I admirable renderings were greeted with loud applause, which testified to the fact that the larg-a audience had fuilv realised their expectations. I Mr. Bevan on taking his seat for his •ioit item. drew attention to the studies in contrast afforded by the three pieces he was about 10 play, one hy Chopin. o c turno No. 9 in B," La plus que lente," by Debussy, and Grieg's "Norwegian iiridal March." Mr..Bevan's third item was a number of short pieces by Chopin. Mrs. Leslie Davie6 ^was in groat form. ,Sho "gavo an impassioned rendering of I/aska, and delighted all with the piquant: U If I were God up in the sky." "Little John" and Nini, Ninettee, Ninon," were her other pieces. Mr. Josiah Thomas wa$in good voiee I with Gounod's famous Even Brarost: Heart may Swell" (from Faust] Coine. let u? sit and drrtm" and Invictus." At the interval Mr. Oliver Luff &n- nounced that the chairman (Mr. Jenkin?) had that evening handed him £ 5 as a dart to the collection. Mr.'Jenkins, trad been heart and soul in the F/und, and had I. already subscribed £ 50. Mr. Lnff gave on admirable rendering of Llvnfi's poeUI, Tho Fund," which makes the groat ap- peal. A hearty vote of thanks to Mr. Bovan, Mrs. Leslie Davies, and Mr. Joeiah Thomas, were passed. THOSt WHO HELPED ME. I Those who hodid be mentioned for their excellent services to the great suc- cess of the evening are Mr W. L Davies, woo organised the affair in that complete- ness, which is one of his finest cliaraf-tor- istics; Mr. Oliver Luff, tho chairman of the League, who has been. missioning lor the Fund for weeks past: Mr. T.

11 THE BAYS." i m Dinner and Presentation I An extremely pleasant eraaung was by a company of about 50 who wete present at the annual dinner of the Ba, -ri cliffe Rugby Football Club, at the iiaclv, worth Hotel, Swansea, on Tuesday t-Nell, ing. Mr. BrYll Matthews, the chairman of the elub, presided, and the excellent courses provided by Messrs. R. E. Jones were done full justice to by those presont The souvenir toast list and menu "as" a successful item of the proceedings, Mr. Dick German having sketched tho subject and Mr. Syd Deakm providing the orna- mental colour work. Alter the loyal toasts had been duly observed, Mr. Tom George proposed, in a neat speech, the toast of The Bays," mentioning the efforts made by the club, very often in- volving self-denial on the part of it* mem- bers to keep the flag of Rugby flying in the town. Mr. Edgar Parker, one of the oldest members, responded very happily, and [suggested that the Swansea Seconds uo- pended rather too much on Bayclitfe for torming their teams, whereas it would bo as well to drop the idea of a second string and give junior clubs a better oppor- tunity of remaining united. The Premiers of course, could still then draw upon them the same as usual, if they wanted recruits for the club. (Applause). Mr. Trevor Davies, an old member and ex-captain, alio responded. Mr. C. B. Jones proposing U The Visitors," eaid they had rather expected =ome of the officials of the District League and the Swansea Club to be present, in view of the fact that. Beycliffe was the cnly junior team in the town. It would have shown that the Bays' efforts were not passing unnoticed. Mr. Chris Cummicgs responding, wished the club every success. Mr. Syd Deakiu, secretary, proposed the District League." and Mr. J. Wil. kin# ably responded. The toast which received th. greatest applause of the evening wag that of "The Press," proposed by Mr. Frank Sullivan (the inside half), and responded to hy Mr. L. Hayward (" Freelance "), and Mr. A. E. Daniel (" Pendragon "), wished the club every success, and men- tioned that its services to Rugby had been of the highest order. A PRESENTATION. The most interesting event, however, was the presentation to Mr. Sydney G. Deakin, the secretary, of a beautiful watch, in consideration of his yeoman ser- vices to Baycliffe and the Rugby co le. The captain (Mr. W. Williams) mude t:m presentation behalf of the past and present members and friends. The com- pany roe>e spontaneously and sang :1 jolly good fellow," and gave threo cheers.
